I recently built a new computer and (as of yesterday) successfully have Windows 7 and LMDE dual booted and everything appears to be working well except that when I'm booted into Linux my computer produces no sound. My sound is using the built in sound in my Gigabyte z77-DS3H mobo and works fine in Windows.

I've plugged my headphones into the front and rear ports and there's no sound. Pulse Audio shows sound if I play sound but I hear nothing. I've tried every setting I could see in the sound options and have also tried to use Gnome-Alsamixer (it won't open) and I've used the alsamixergui from terminal (doesn't seem to work right either). I've also looked around online for possible solutions and have produced no results with anything I've found so far.

This sound issue is currently the only thing stopping me from using LMDE as my main OS and Windows only as necessary so help would be very much appreciated. I'll be glad to try anything and to produce screenshots and other information.

Sorry, I'm not always clear. That's what I meant. But I also have my device with (ALSA Mixer) as an option. Now I don't know if you can just install ALSA or if it breaks anything. For me it was installed from the beginning (201109 ISO). The last updates came with UP4 from debian.linuxmint.com/latest:

I just bought this board. I am still trying to figure it out, it may not be pertinent but it may help to know that those ports in the back are apparently configured with some software provided by Gigabyte.
